Pain receptors technically do not adapt. This is due to their role in alerting the body of danger. Adaptation to pain would result in an individual getting used to the pain and therefore not responding to it.. This could have a serious result.

Why is it helpful that some sensory receptors quickly adapt but other receptors slowly adapt?

fast adapting sensory receptors (for example smell) adapt rapidly because a foul smell can not cause harm to your body the brain quickly gets used to it. However slow/no adapting receptors is for safety. If something did not hurt, you would continue to do it even though it causes harm to your body. If touching a hot stove didn't hurt, then we wouldn't ever stop. Our body does not adapt to this heat because it is giving us a warning sign to stop before we damage the skin.
